U can't see ur current journals since it doesn't include previous act completion so it's become useless
--BRN-- Jan 3, 2024 @ 11:38am 
The mod does not appear in my list, how to solve it? I have divinity definitive edition
Wife Beater Dec 25, 2023 @ 2:39pm 
might be a good idea add a shop with all items from act 1, so u can start the game with your set, that u would end up in act 1

Incompatible with Shop Reroll mod
BSalad Nov 23, 2023 @ 10:33am

Kalavinka  [author] Nov 23, 2023 @ 4:13am 
It probably does. Sorry.
BSalad Nov 22, 2023 @ 8:37pm 
does this prevent me from doing stuff like the 4 relics?
Brovahkiin Jul 20, 2023 @ 3:02pm 
I wasn't able to get this to work until i wen to the Mods section in the main menu and clicked the checkmark next to the mod and hit Confirm

stephanos_habt Apr 5, 2023 @ 5:50am 
Is it just me or is anybody else missing spirit vision at the start? do i really have to wait until namnless isle?

Where can I find the bedrolls, I went through the whole ship but can't seem to find them.
311 Feb 23, 2023 @ 5:06pm 
nvm doesn't work anyways
311 Feb 23, 2023 @ 4:55pm 
does this also finish the side quests in joy?
FreyaMaluk Feb 16, 2023 @ 10:00am 
HI! JUST WANED TO SUGGEST FOR YOU TO ADD A TAG FOR THIS MOD UNDER "START"
sorry for caps... I was looking for this mod and couldn"t find it by typing that. anyways.. thanks!
Kalavinka  [author] Jan 29, 2023 @ 7:02am 
It sounds like you may not have had the DOS2 Script Extender installed correctly for Odinblade's Huntsman Overhaul. I suggest checking out his guide for that https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2031669903

That way you can play with both mods
Jingles Jan 29, 2023 @ 1:27am 
At First i had the same issue as a couple other people in that it kept telling me that it "cannot create story" but after some triall and error it turns out it was odinblades huntsman overhaul mod that was actually preventing it from working once i disabled it, it worked perfectly fine! Great mod
BardzBeast Jan 26, 2023 @ 10:05am 
can you do a mod which skips just the prison bit of fort joy? so start at the bridge where the trader is and skip the walking around in rags for 4 hours and doing menial side quests.
Kalavinka  [author] Jan 16, 2023 @ 8:24am 
It shouldn't require the script extender in theory as it was made long before the extender released, but that's a good point. I also have the extender installed, which may have made a difference.
I9MB6 Jan 15, 2023 @ 6:54pm 
Does this mod require norbyte's script extender? I had the "cannot create the story" problem with others mod before installing it. This mod is working for me
Kalavinka  [author] Jan 14, 2023 @ 3:43pm 
I'm sorry to say that I just tested this today and it still works fine for me. I am alarmed that 3 people in 4 months now have reported it doesn't work, but I'm afraid I can't reproduce this issue.

How many other mods are you running, roughly? It's possible a class mod of some kind may have a start-of-game script that depends on Fort Joy.
Aydin Jan 14, 2023 @ 12:23pm 
Breaks the game, preventing you from starting a new playthrough. Been this way for too long. Remove from the workshop.
SupremeSquish Dec 21, 2022 @ 8:49am 
I'm having the same issue where it says it cannot create the story...
ronve2 Nov 3, 2022 @ 9:48am 
Is there a Mod that starts the game in Arx?
Kyle Sep 22, 2022 @ 5:26am 
I can't get this to work, it just says that it can't create a story, and stays on the original story.

Any tips to fix this?
redman Jul 15, 2022 @ 11:41am 
how to get vulture armor?
Картоночка Jun 6, 2022 @ 3:40pm 
Best of the BestXD
Orbalorb Apr 2, 2022 @ 1:18pm 
is there a way back to fort joy?
h8tm3h4rd Mar 3, 2022 @ 5:16am 
But what about those useful gloves of teleportation? By the way, I love this!
Seeyeay Feb 6, 2022 @ 12:11pm 
Either I am retarded or this isn't working. I load up the game, turn the mod on in the mod list. Start a new game, starts at the very beginning. As there is not description in this mod of how it would other wise be activated I am not sure whats wrong.
DyingMeme Jan 9, 2022 @ 5:30am 
I can't kill stingtail and do Sebille's questline with this installed. Any way to fix this?
Snipe Sep 7, 2021 @ 6:05am 
@Durg - There's a mod that brings black cat alive or transports it to you that might might work here. Could try that.
King Sep 4, 2021 @ 11:36am 
does this work for multiplayer?
Lilylilith Sep 2, 2021 @ 7:57pm 
is there no way to acquire the black cat? perhaps a skillbook by the bedrolls? it's the only thing that really matters from act 1 worth keeping that you can't access
Teckly Aug 29, 2021 @ 2:21am 
I'm having a bug which is apprently caused by this mod.
In the arena of riftwood Jada doesn't die, the game just do nothing anymore, I even have to quit with the task manager.
I loaded an old save without this one and it works fine.
ToiYeuLanAnh Aug 26, 2021 @ 12:23am 
You can't get the main quest from Malady because she's already gone. You can still do the main quest though. If you don't know where it's located, google "Meister Siva".
Snipe Aug 21, 2021 @ 5:10am 
Very nice. Though I would add one thing all my companions say I left them on the boat to die. Since I skipped that act I suppose that is accurate but makes you seem an evil one.Thanks for the great add.
PaleEnchantress Jul 16, 2021 @ 6:55pm 
I use a LOT of mods but thus may be the best of them all
Sinicero Jun 12, 2021 @ 4:41am 
For some reason, im missing Bless skill...And even though it took me until Nameless island that i realized i don't have that skill, is this count as a bug?
Blade May 29, 2021 @ 2:17pm 
so will this get updated to get the tyrant armor the devourer piece and the pirate set. Losing out on those great armor pieces is kinda back breaking
Ownsin Apr 5, 2021 @ 11:29am 
Does this mod disable achievements?
DerGilow Mar 12, 2021 @ 2:36pm 
but will the lohse quest ever be seeable?
Kalavinka  [author] Mar 11, 2021 @ 4:39am 
The quests aren't listed but you can still trigger all of the story beats.
DerGilow Mar 10, 2021 @ 11:50am 
Hey, I really like this mod. but I have two questions:

-Is it normal, that the Quest for obtaining the source magic is missing (mordus, ryker etc.)?
-I play Lohse and my Friend is playing The red Prince but our character quests are missing as well.

Thank you very much for help.

LG

Created a new Profile and seems to be working as intended for me. Started with 20k gold. No missing companions. One issue is I can't enter the secret room wither the 2 creatures are in.
Stega Dec 10, 2020 @ 1:46pm 
Isnt working unfortunately. Tried making a number of different characters. Tried making a new profile and removing all other mods and I keep starting on the ship and even after passing the ship I still start at fort joy.
Wilq Dec 10, 2020 @ 3:34am 
does it work with achievement mod?
Kngiht Dec 8, 2020 @ 5:51am 
Not working, keeps saying that my addons are messing with the story so it is putting me into the main story and ignoring the addon entirely, leaving me on those accursed beaches.
Tahmeyr Dec 6, 2020 @ 1:14pm 
Not working for me, tried new profilte and new game (with Odin modes) but still not working. So i skip it ftm. If someone got any solution ^^
Truehippy Nov 9, 2020 @ 3:45pm

KW Oct 25, 2020 @ 10:31am 
Is there any way to go back to act 1 using this?
